David Pryde and Ron Sparks go on the strength of their convictions to argue whether jury duty is our civic obligation or just a burden.

David Pryde makes a strong case that jury duty is guilty of wasting people's time.

Jury duty is like volunteering to be a Little League umpire. You get no money, no respect and you're one bad call from some angry parents trying to make a federal case out of it!- David Pryde

But Ron Sparks throws the book at those who want to bail on being a juror.

If you don't do it, someone else will. And that someone else might be me. Would you really rather let me decide who should be free to roam your neighbourhood?- Ron Sparks
